The News of the fabled India
The News of the fabled India deal seems to have been pretty low key – what did I miss?
News of the America Deal is rolling in as I type, sounds like some skypricing going on there: before Trump – tariff everyone was comfortable with; Trump doubles or triples it and then under the “deal”, it’s back where it started (until he changes his mind again.)
My sense is that Starmer is now condemning himself to being a single term PM – any remaining hope of a rejoin position is gone now.

I had a weird day last week where everything I posted appeared in quadruplicate. I won’t delete the suplus ones so as not to spoil your joke.

Parking charges plan for popular Birmingham parks despite backlash – full list
Lickey Hills: Car parking charges on way despite opposition
Councillor Adrian Delaney (Conservative, Rubery and Rednal) has spoken out against the proposal for Lickey Hills in particular, saying recently on social media:
“This land was gifted to Birmingham City Council by George Cadbury.
“And I just wonder if he were alive today, I think he’d be absolutely appalled by these plans.
“This will hit local people hard, especially those people that use the park for exercise, well-being and for community.
Well quite, drivers, not a bad analogy:

All I wanted was the route number for the old Rednal trams, that I think someone like Cadbury might have favoured people using, not some anti-car rant from 1949:
The transport problem of Birmingham, as of many large cities, is becoming increasingly severe. The author is of the opinion that such problems can only be solved by the provision of an urban transport installation, and not by the use of supposedly flexible vehicles on the existing network of roads; it is the attempt to solve the problem by this latter means that is responsible for the congestion in the centre of Birmingham at the present time. An embryo specialised installation exists in Birmingham to-day; it is recommended that it be developed as far as possible for its specialist purpose while there is still time and before the traffic of the future swamps the Bristol Road completely, as it will do if numberless small vehicles are expected to cope with it in competition with the many others who regard themselves as having equal claim to the surface of a public road.”
Guys, your problem is cars.

Moving blockade’ planned for one of Wales’ busiest beaches this weekend
Two grandmothers are leading the protests to highlight the gridlocks that regularly plague the area as tourists descend
Annwen Williams, 58, a grandmother-of-seven and protester, expressed the community’s frustration: “For years there have been lots of meetings and lots of talk but not enough action,” she said. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here.
“Well we are now the action. We’re fed up and we need things to change. And we won’t be backing down – this weekend’s protest won’t be the last. We’ll keep doing them until something is finally done to sort out the village’s traffic problems.”
On Sunday at 9am a group of villagers, including children, will embark on a “slow walk” from the heart of the village. Flanked by at least one tractor for safety they plan to take an unhurried hour-long walk down Church Street, which leads to the main beach car park at Newborough Forest.
